There’s no Bed and Breakfast like an Island Bed and Breakfast!
Vancouver Island is an ideal place to get away and is home to many fine and friendly West Coast B&Bs—whether you prefer our rugged West Coast with its long sandy surfing beaches, wildlife, whale watching, and rain forest hiking trails, or our more sheltered inside coast with its beautiful gardens, walking and cycling paths, golfing, fishing, winery tours, and shopping, you’ll find quaint and unique, yet modern, accommodations to suit every taste. Here are a few that have been featured in More Living magazine…
The heart of this working lavender farm has to be the large, open-concept country kitchen/living area in the newly built farmhouse. The expansive windows and French doors, bring the glorious view right inside to meld with the warmth of the gold, green, yellow and cream décor. Complete with Mediterranean-style tiled flooring, a centerpiece island, a dining table, a deep, welcoming couch and several armchairs, a large screened TV, and a fabulous fireplace.
Mara is the resident chef and welcoming host of Fairburn Farm Culinary Retreat and Guesthouse. Nestled in the comfortable embrace of the Cowichan Valley at the heart of Vancouver Island, and just one hour away from both Victoria and Nanaimo, Fairburn Farm is a sanctuary for a simpler, kinder lifestyle. It’s a lifestyle that Mara is ideally suited and prepared for; her occupancy of the Farm seems almost pre-destined.
The Maple View B&B is immaculate, classily furnished and fitted, and very attractive in so many ways. It’s a house that’s obviously been subject to a deeply thoughtful approach in respect of every last detail. To this end it boasts a show home quality, yet still retains the soul of a lived-in family residence.
